Software Engineer.
DevOps Enthusiast.
OSS Advocate.
I like finding smart ways to blend engineering and design to solve real problems—whether it is helping individuals work faster or helping teams build better systems. I am always looking for newer, simpler ways to do old things, especially when it means saving time, cutting friction, or unlocking something better. I care a lot about open source and automation.
Deeply invested in improving DevX, Cx, and xD because how things feel is just as important as how they work.
Over the past years,
I have designed and built products, systems, teams, and processes that help people solve real problems efficiently, creatively, and at scale. From simplifying onboarding to refining sales flows, I focus on user experience at every touchpoint: what people see, feel, and remember. Then I find ways to automate the boring stuff so teams can focus on what really matters.
Currently, I serve as the Associate Director of Engineering at 350.org - a global climate movement leveraging technology to drive meaningful action. I lead a distributed team of engineers, building infrastructure and platforms that scale our mission: solving the climate crisis by empowering people worldwide.
Beyond my professional role, I am deeply involved in the open-source community. As a volunteer with Open Source Community Africa (OSCA) , I contribute to fostering a vibrant ecosystem of open-source contributors across the continent. I am part of the organizing team for the annual Open Source Festival - OSCAFEST - a high-profile event that brings together developers, designers, and tech enthusiasts to share knowledge, collaborate, and promote open-source tools and practices. I also contribute to MDN Web Docs because great documentation helps great developers become even better, and because sharing knowledge is just as important as writing code.
On the side, I also try to find time to build interesting tools that I release as open source software.
Previously, I have worked in various organizations, sometimes in leadership positions:
- Consultant CTO at Nyuma Harrison Foundation (Zambia): I helped to bring healthcare access in underserved communities in Zambia through technology solutions.
- Chief Technology Officer at African Women in Leadership Organisation: I designed, built and deployed the organisation's cloud infrastructure, led DevOps adoption, powered digital campaigns across 12 countries, initiated a tech internship program, and secured strategic UN partnerships.
- Volunteer at Hope Behind Bars Africa: Developed the “Connect Lawyer” app to connect prison inmates with pro bono legal assistance.
I am passionate about technology, automation, and building tools that help people do more with less. Lately, I have been experimenting with creatively adding AI to the mix.
I am a realist with a leaning towards optimism. I am a big believer in Midwestern work ethic. I choose books over movies 9 times out of 10 and try to find time to write and blog about productivity hacks, automation, and business.
